Re: This weeks RIP's........
Thanks for all of your kind and comforting words. It certainly was sad to see his decline. From a very fit and healthy ex-footballer (he was an integral player in the all conquering Chorley team of the late 50s/early 60s) and self-employed joiner & builder, looking forward to a long and happy retire...

Re: This weeks RIP's........
I've reported on here a few funny stories relating to things my Dad's done and said as a result of his dementia. Well, sadly, after a continuous and steady decline, he finally lost his battle and passed away on Sunday. He was a remarkable person and an inspiration to everyone he met. I've always bee...

Re: the Photo thread
Wasn't sure whether to put these on the holiday thread, or this thread. Nothing special about the quality of these photos (in fact they're pretty rubbish). This is more about the content. The Hopefuls went to Cyprus on holiday recently and at Mrs H's insistence, we went to 'Turtle bay' to see if we ...

A couple of images from yesterdays walk. The first is allegedly Britains most photographed tree and was used in a scene of a major film. Any guesses as to where I was ? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10999041/sycamoreH.jpg Nope. No idea. About as much idea as Robin Hood had thinking that going...

That's your choice of course, but each to their own. I can't stand cheats, no matter who they play for.plymouth wanderer wrote:Worthy4England wrote:^^ How many of them did he leave his leg in, on? About half?

12 months ago I posted on here that #1 son didn't quite get the A-level results he needed to get him into his first choice uni to do Mechanical Engineering and he decided to re-sit the year. Well, it seems that was a good decision, as he's just got his results and improved them such that he's now be...

Re: Today I'm neither Angry nor Happy about....
I see a lot of clients in my clinic who suffer from panic attacks, theyre incredibly common , yet most clients find them very isolating and frightening. Whilst I deal with the symptoms and aim to reduce their prevalence, I also think it's worth looking for the cause. It isn't always obvious and it ...

Re: Tranmere .... it'd be brash and distasteful to mock them
It certainly brings some perspective to our disappointments. Here's hoping Chorley win their playoff final on Saturday and give them a good spanking for us next season! Agreed. I had a look at their website yesterday to see where and when the play-off final was. I stumbled across the following adve...

I've been busy trying to sort out a care home for my Dad all week, so haven't been on here as much as I'd like. What happened? Did Mrs Bobo get her bacon, eggs and beans on toast? ....or shouldn't I ask?
